Your Proxmox server can handle 10 times the workload if you stop treating everything like a virtual machine

If you're planning to set up your own home lab with a single server to test some apps and save money by cancelling cloud subscriptions, you may be looking at Proxmox. This Linux-based distro is a top choice when it comes to running virtual machines (VMs) and Linux containers (LXCs). They may achieve similar results, but VMs and LXCs are two different ways to create and run instances. A virtual machine may sound like a better route to take, especially if you're new to the game, but it could be wasting resources.
